    I absolutely love these books!

    I will start by saying these books are straightforward with their approach to history which I appreciate because my kids do not have long attention spans. I personally would not deduct stars for this not being creation history. For a child growing up in a Christian home I don't find it necessary, they are learning that already. I do not find it pagan or anti Christian in any way, it's just history in a very direct, yet unique way. If you're looking for an easy to deliver history lesson then this is for you. You read a chapter, the child takes a test (test book sold separately, highly recommend.) My daughter who struggles greatly with paying attention or retaining things is doing wonderful with this approach. She has even asked me to look up more info on certain things when our lesson is done. We take our history lesson to the park and read it under the trees while we eat lunch. It's size makes it very manageable to take along. I really think this series is wonderful and should be given more credit.

    My son used this, in addition to the Softcover Book & Test Book, for 7th grade and he had such a great time making the accompanying crafts. I love that it has review questions, & the answers, for each chapter! This made my job super easy and it helped me reinforce the main key points. I also love that there are additional reading recommendations that can easily be found at the library. We just purchased Volume 2 for 8th grade!

    I dont know about you but I have always found history to be somewhat dry. I searched high and low for a curriculum that would bring history to life for my 6 year old daughter and I found it in this curriculum. My daughter says this is one of her favorite subjects and remembers the history facts because of how well its presented. I find it awesome to learn history through people, not dates. I get that dates are important, however I want to instill a love of history for my daughter by relating to the people of our world while shes young and the date memorization can come later. Another important thing for me was keeping my daughters attention and the sections in this book are broken up in such a way that they are only a few pages at a time. This way she has just a little bit of history several times a week and its not overwhelming. We will definitely continue with the curriculum next year.

    Oh, I understand some of the other reviewers concerns about how Biblical stories are presented as just another story and the book references gods, however I use these as teaching moments for my daughter. We live in a world where shes going to encounter people with these beliefs so I want her to be aware of them in relation to our Christian beliefs.

    My son used this, along with the Activity Book & Test Book, for his 7th grade History curriculum. We have thoroughly enjoyed reading through these stories. I am so grateful that we came across this enjoyable curriculum. We just purchased Volume 2 for 8th grade! I HIGHLY recommend the accompanying Activity Book. It is filled with review questions (& answers), corresponding activities, map work, and additional reading suggestions.
